Ava Walters is a pediatric nurse who doesn't do relationships. An abusive past has left her wounded, but determined to pursue her dream of becoming as a Navy Nurse. Ava is in the midst of rebuilding her life, when she is targeted by a sexual harasser who wields the power to destroy her dream before it sets sail.

Logan Masters is an ambitious specialty surgeon whose past is riddled with betrayal. His trust in women is conditional-no secrets and no boundaries. When he comes to Ava's rescue, there is no denying the spark of attraction. Things get complicated when Logan pursues Ava, rather than the arranged relationship that holds his business alliance together. After years of being alone, Ava starts to believe that love is possible under Logan's skillful touch.

But Ava is harboring a secret she doesn't want exposed. Determined to guard her heart, Ava soon discovers Logan is as focused on winning her heart as she is at shielding it away. When secrets and broken alliances threaten to torpedo both their futures, how will they chart a course to lasting love?
